under section 14 of the Electricity Act 2003 granted distribution license for carrying
out business of distribution of electricity in the area of supply covering the
geographical limits of AGRA DisCom vide licence No 3 order dated 21 January
2010.The licence thus issued shall continue in force for a period of 25 years.
• In this petition licensee is submitting an application for Aggregate Revenue
Requirement for FY2012-13. The commission in exercise of its power conferred
under clause (zd), (ze) and (Zf) of section 181(2) read with Section 61and 62 of
Electricity Act 2003 issued Term & Conditions of Distribution Tariff Regulation
2006. The Regulation applies to all the Distribution Licensees in the State. In the
Regulation the Commission has laid out the principles for determination of
Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) for (a) Distribution Business and (b) Retail
Supply Business of the licensees. The ARR so determined for each of the businesses
will form the basis for fixation of wheeling tariff/charges and charges for retail sale
of electricity. This ARR has been prepared in accordance with the Policy directions
laid down in the regulation and previous Tariff orders issued by the Hon’ble
Commission.
• The Retail Tariff across the DisComs has been kept same till the allocation of the
PPAs among DisComs by GoUP, this is in line with the guiding factor provided in
Tariff Policy issued by Govt of India.
• The Bulk Supply Tariff for DisComs has been computed based on pooled power
purchase expense and total energy sale to DisComs. The Commission in its previous
order has approved this methodology as such Petitioner has adopted the same in
this Petition.
• The layout of this petition among other thing includes back ground, proposed
capital expenditure for FY2012-13, estimation of retail sales and revenue
assessment at current tariff, estimation of Aggregate Revenue Requirement and
revenue gap at current tariff with proposal to meet out the revenue gap.

a reasonable level, in spite of inflationary pressure prevailing in the market
scenario thereby minimising burden on the consumers to the maximum possible
extent. The petitioner would like to assure the consumers and stakeholders that the
intention has been to ensure fair deal to consumers while promoting working of the
utility in an efficient, economical and equitable manner.

• The petitioner while estimating expenses for current & ensuing year has taken
actual expenses incurred in previous years as per its audited /un audited balance
sheet to derive the expenses at a reasonable level.
• The petitioner has endeavoured to control the employee expenses to maximum
possible extent to offset inflation and keep the expenses to the approved level.
However due to mandatory annual increment, pay increase due to time bound
scale the employees expenses are bound to increase from the previous level, this fact
has been explained at the subsequent section. While projecting the expenses for
ensuing year petitioner has considered a marginal increase over the estimated
amount for the current year mainly due to increase in DA, basic salary annual
increment and inflationary pressure. However employees are being made
accountable towards the consumer satisfaction by way of issuing implementation
order of guaranteed standard of performance. Targets have been fixed for retail
business especially revenue realization and employees have been made responsible
toward speedy redressal of consumers’ problem.
• The petitioner while projecting A&G expenses for ensuing year has proposed a
marginal increase in the A&G expenses to off-set inflationary pressure. However in
real term it can be termed as reduction in expenses as expenses virtually remained
at same level.
• The petitioner has projected R&M expenses for current year taking into account
actual expenses as per un-audited balance sheet and for ensuing year R&M
expenses has been estimated as per methodology adopted by the Commission in its
last Tariff Order & as per guidelines laid down in Tariff Regulation. The petitioner
has tried to optimize the R&M expenses despite rise in input cost. The proactive
preventive maintenance initiatives and capital expenditure under various schemes
have been proposed for improvement in distribution network which would result in
reduction of transformer failure, ensuring improvement in quality of supply and
reduction in number of break down.
• The petitioner has estimated sales demand for the ensuing year taking in to account
economic and demographic driver such as per capita GDP, population growth &
contribution of primary, secondary & tertiary sector of economy to GDP. For large
& heavy consumer categories past trend has also been considered in estimation of
demand.
• The detailed Aggregate Revenue Requirement for Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran
Nigam Limited is being presented for consideration and approval before the
Hon’ble Commission in the following sections of the petition.

2.3. Supply Hours:-
In FY 11 & FY 12 Tariff petitions, a supply hour function was included in the load
forecasting methodology that derived energy consumption as a function of supply
hours. This function was, to some extent, based on an estimated relationship
between supply hours and consumption for rural un-metered customers. For FY
2012-13, this relationship has been refined based on the rostering schedule
applicable to various rural feeders.
Table 2-7 summarizes the results of hour of supply to different category of
consumers. In this table the average supply hours are from feeders supplying
various types of communities/area i.e. District, Commissionaire, Mahanagar,
Industrial, Bundelkhand and Rural.

2.4. Efficiency Improvement Activities being undertaken:-
As per the directives and guidelines specified by the Hon’ble Commission towards
efficiency improvement, the Licensee has made concerted efforts to improve its
operations and is committed to implement a number of technical and commercial
measures in this direction in FY2012-13. The objective of efficiency improvement
programs would be to ensure a reliable Distribution system and enhance the
quality of supply to consumer as well as to reduce technical & commercial losses
of the petitioner. The initiatives undertaken are:
2.4.1. System Improvement Initiative:-
The initiatives undertaken by the petitioner for system improvement & collection
efficiency improvement involve following activities:
2.4.2. Enhancement of capacity of existing 33kV substation:-
At some grid substations, existing Power transformers are of lesser capacity and
loaded beyond their rating .Hence it is required to augment these Power
Transformers so that loading can be reduced. Augmentation will help in:
a. Reliability improvement.
b. Prevention of frequent failures.
c. Reduction of overloading in existing system.
d. Reduction of technical losses.
e. Down time reduction.
f. Load growth.
2.4.3. Construction of new 33/11 kV s/s:-
In order to meet bulk load requirement & continuous increase in demand in
particular area new substations are being commissioned. The voltage is tapped at
33kV level and is step down to 11kV with the use of power Transformer. From
Power Transformers numbers of 11kv feeders are taken depending upon the
capacity of the transformer. On Commissioning of a new 33kV substation at
suitable location, the length of the 11kV feeders are bifurcated and the network is
optimally loaded.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-9
2.4.4. Addition of New Transformer:-
At those substations where existing Power Transformer are over loaded new
transformers of required capacity are installed.
2.4.5. Other Initiatives:-
a. Capacity enhancement of Distribution substation and strengthening of
distribution system to be compatible to load growth.
b. Distribution Automation: It is envisaged that 33kV and 11kV feeders shall
be automated through distribution SCADA system in phases to have
automatically monitoring of over loading of feeders.
c. Replacement of old conductors.
d. Replacement of damaged poles.
2.4.6. Commercial Process improvement:-
a. Appointment of Input Based Distribution Franchisee:- In order to
improve operational efficiency of the distribution system and quality
service to its consumers, DVVNL sought to bring in management expertise
through public-private participation, in distribution of electricity. Based on
this approach DVVNL decided to appoint an Input Based Distribution
Franchisee through a transparent bidding process for urban division of
district Agra. Petitioner’s objectives of appointing a distribution franchisee,
inter alia, are: I. to minimize Aggregate Distribution and Commercial
losses II. To bring improvement in Metering, Billing and Revenue
Collection III. To minimize Current Assets on account of arrears IV. To
enhance customer satisfaction level by improving quality of service The
Electricity Act has opened new avenues for bringing in private
participation in the distribution sector. The 7th proviso to Section 14 of the
Electricity Act, 2003 states that: “…in a case where a distribution licensee
proposes to undertake distribution of electricity for a specified area within his
area of supply through another person, that person shall not be required to
obtain any separate license from the concerned State Commission and such
distribution licensee shall be responsible for distribution of electricity in his area
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-10
of supply” Accordingly, a person who undertakes the distribution of
electricity for a specified area on behalf of the Distribution Licensee will
not be required to obtain separate license from the concerned State
Electricity Regulatory Commission. After a transparent bidding process,
M/s Torrent Power Ltd was appointed as Input Based Distribution
Franchisee for urban district of Agra. Distribution Franchisee shall
provide for capital expenditure to improve efficiencies, augment and
upgrade infrastructure, reduction in T&D Losses and improvement in
quality of supply.
b. Collection based Franchisee:- Collection efficiency is one of the major
areas of concern for petitioner as it impacts the amount of receivables
against supply of power. Therefore to increase the revenue collection from
rural areas, collection based franchises system have been implemented.
The performance of these initiatives has been found satisfactory for rural
areas.
c. For proper accounting of energy & reducing chances of theft, double
metering system is being implemented & thus yielding encouraging results.
d. For speedy redressal of consumer grievances, call centre has been
established at Lucknow, control rooms have been set up in all major cities
& DisCom HQ in order to ensure strict implementation of orders of
guaranteed standard of performance.
e. In all theft prone areas overhead conductor are being replaced with ABC
(Aerial Bunched Conductor) .This helps in reduction of line losses and
break down which results in better quality of supply & consumer
satisfaction .This ultimately enhance revenue of the petitioner.
f. Provision of periodic checking through Accuchecks of all static and
trivector meters installed in high value consumers premises.
g. Special drive to check the cases of theft/unauthorized use of
electricity/checking of excess load being carried out in different districts
by sending teams of officers from DisCom headquarter.
h. Special camps are organized to collect revenue from the consumers to solve
their problems on the spot.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-11
i. Regularization of illegal connections and ledgerisation of unledgerised
connections is being monitored to arrest revenue loss.
j. Special team of headquarter engineers and vigilance teams comprising of
Police personnel have been formed in each zone. With these teams surprise
raids are conducted for effective checks of direct theft of energy/Katiya
connections.
k. NA/NR/IDF/ADF cases are being monitored and defective meters are
being changed. Efforts are being made to install meters on all distribution
transformers.
l. Works of hand held billing, disconnection and reconnection works are
being done with the help of external agencies. The system coverage has
improved with the implementation of hand held metering /billing devices.
m. Petitioner is planning to use various Information Technology (IT)
initiatives to drive operational efficiency improvement. Web based billing
/payment is one of the initiatives. In this facility consumer can log on the
designated web site of the service provider and by punching a key word
provided in the bill consumer can view their complete bill and payment can
be made accordingly. This web based payment facility initially would be
available to selected city consumers and later on will be extended to all
consumers of the licensee.
n. In the urban areas work of shifting of over head line by laying underground
cable are being carried out. This will not only improve the operational
efficiency but also reduce the chances of theft.
2.5. Capital Expenditure:-
The petitioner has proposed capital expenditure for laying down the basic
infrastructure, system augmentation, improvement in metering and billing
system. Therefore the capital expenditure schemes are divided into two categories
namely- Government Schemes and Schemes funded from financial institutions.
The State Government is primarily providing funds for implementing schemes of
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-12
rural electrification. The various schemes under which the capital expenditure
programs are envisaged are detailed below:
a. Ambedkar Gram Sabha Vikas Yojana:-
This scheme has been envisaged by the State Government with a view to achieve
100% rural electrification in the State. Under this scheme some majras (hamlets)
of each Gram- Sabha are selected each year for electrification. GoUP provide
equity for execution of these projects.
b. Rural Electrification Programme – RGGVY:-
Rural Electrification Program- RGGVY contemplates electrification of villages and
strengthening the existing network in the rural areas to achieve universal access
to electricity for all households. Under this scheme following work is performed:
o Electrification of un-electrified hamlets
o Strengthening of Distribution system under RGGVY for providing electricity to all BPL household
o Electrification of villages electrified as per CEA
o Conversion of villages/hamlets electrified from LT mains to HVDS
o Providing electricity to all rural households including free connection to BPL households
o Strengthening of Rural electricity Distribution backbone
o Electrification of remote villages (Stand alone)
Under RGGVY , the central government provides a grant of 90% of the project
cost for each scheme of village electrification and the balance 10% of the fund is
provided by the State Government. However, the GoUP provides entire fund
required for schemes under the RGGVY programme in the form of equity to the
DisCom.
c. Energisation of Private Tube Wells (PTW):-
To cope up with the growing demand of agriculture in the State, electrification of
private tube wells has always been of much importance. The GoUP provide
support for this scheme. Under this scheme GoUP allot area wise targets for
energisation of PTW & accordingly allocate fund for this purpose.

Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-13
d. R-APDRP:-
Ministry of Power, Govt. of India, has launched the Restructured Accelerated
Power Development and Reforms Programme (R-APDRP) in the XI Five year
Plan. Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) has been designated by GoI as
the Nodal Agency for the programme. The programme spans from data
acquisition at distribution level till monitoring of results of steps taken to provide
an IT backbone and strengthening of the Electricity Distribution system across
the Country under the programme. The objective of the programme is reduction
of AT&C losses to the extent of 15% in project areas.
The project under the scheme shall be taken up in two parts. Part-A shall include
the project for establishment of base line data and IT application for energy
accounting /auditing and IT based consumer service centre. Part-B shall include
regular distribution strengthening projects. The activities covered under each part
are as follows:
Part –A: of the scheme essentially covers the application of information
technology in distribution utilities across the country. The scheme shall involve
implementation of IT modules for data acquisition, new
connections/disconnection, energy accounting & audit, network analysis
management, Maintenance management, Asset management, MIS, metering,
billing, collection etc. The programme also encompasses implementation of
SCADA/DMS, GIS based Consumer Indexing & Asset mapping etc. This entire
exercise is being aimed to establish Base line Data collection system for the
distribution utilities through which they are able to capture AT&C losses in a
precise manner without manual intervention and also to plan & implement
corrective measures in Part B
Part-B: of the scheme covers system strengthening, improvement and
augmentation of distribution system. This shall involve:-
o Identification of high loss areas
o Preparation of investment plans for identified areas
o Implementation of plan
o Monitoring of Losses
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 2-14
e. Other Schemes:-
A large part of the distribution network is very old and needs major overhauling
or replacement. Petitioner has identified some major assets that are in dire need
of replacement. Major items covered under replacement of this scheme are, poles,
overhead conductors and switchgears.
Apart from replacement of old and dilapidated equipments there are requirement
of network and infrastructure augmentation to cater load growth due to regular
increase in load in existing set-up as well as due to large-scale electrification of
rural areas. Also, there is a significant requirement of improving the systems and
processes of the distribution business of the petitioner to achieve better efficiency
of operations, e.g. billing accuracy and procedure, material and financial
management etc. Therefore the petitioner has also planned to invest significantly
in IT systems for achieving such objectives.
f. Double metering:-
Petitioner is planning to install double metering at the premises of consumer
having load more than 10kVA .This will reduce the probability of tampering of
metering system by the consumer which was a frequent phenomenon previously.
g. Installation of Aerial Bunched Conductor:-
Unauthorized consumption of electricity is the most important area of concern for
the petitioner. The major component of losses in distribution is commercial
losses, which is primarily due to theft. In order to reduce the same the existing
over head lines are envisaged to be replaced by Aerial Bunched Conductors (ABC)
which is less prone to theft.
h. Distribution Scheme:-
Strengthening of HV/LV Distribution network with the following criteria:
o Reliability Improvement.
o Prevention of frequent failure
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013

o Continuous load growth
o Reducing overloading of existing system
o Reduction of technical losses
o Reducing load shedding
o Reducing down time
o Reduction of theft
2.6. Compliance of UPERC Directives:-
The Commission had issued a number of directives to the Utilities in Tariff order
FY 2009-10 with the objective of attaining operational efficiency and streamlining
the flow of information, which would be beneficial for the sector both in short
term and long term. Most of this compliance of directives is submitted before the
Hon’ble Commission along with the ARR & Tariff Petition FY 2010-11 & FY 2011-
12 on 25th March 2010 and subsequent submission in response to the deficiency

Methodology
1. Overview:
Sales and Load Forecasting involves firstly, building robust and accurate sales
forecast and load forecast models that are able to predict energy sales within
reasonable margins of error and secondly, application of the models so prepared
to provide long term forecast of energy sales to various consumer sub categories
(based on tariffs applied) and the total energy requirement to meet the demand.
2. Methodology:
The following methodology was followed for Sales and Load Forecasting:
Consumer category wise commercial data of each DisCom comprising Number of
consumers/ Connected load (kW)/ Energy sales (billed energy): kWh, split
between rural/urban consumers was tabulated for the years 2001-02 to 2006-07.
Similar data for each consumer sub-category was tabulated for the years 2007-08
to 2010-11.
3. years’ (2008-09 to 2010-11) compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) was
determined for the following parameters consumer sub-category wise:
o Number of consumers
o Connected load: kW
o Energy sales (billed energy): kWh
a. CAGR for each of three major commercial parameters for 3/5/7/10 years
was determined consumer category-wise.
b. Running hour factor: Load shedding affects different consumer
categories differently. Its effect was taken into account through a factor of
present running hour supply and projected hour supply.
However, no adjustment on account of load shedding was made in case of the
following:
o Industrial
o Agricultural (assuming that the water output of agricultural pump
sets in the limited hours of supply is enough for meeting the
irrigation requirements)
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-18
o Railway traction
The Energy Billed was calculated by applying the factor to the remaining
consumer categories in all areas. This was done step-wise as follows:
• Projecting the running hours supply;
• Obtaining the factor of running hours supply between present
supply hours and projected hours supply;
• Sub-category Energy billed in % tabulated by way of Mahanagar,
Commissionary, Districts, Bundelkhand and Rural Area according
to the prevailing classification of the Areas; and
• As per the factors given below, the energy billed was projected

d. Following three ratios were determined for each set of commercial data of a
given consumer category/ sub-category for each year:
• Energy sales per consumer
• Connected load per consumer
• Energy sales/Connected load

e. Sales Forecasting: LV Consumers – Sub-category-wise
e.1. Number of consumers:
Adopted appropriate value of CAGR in the following manner:
• Normally 3 years’ CAGR of number of consumers (sub-
category wise)was adopted
• Wherever calculated value of 3 years’ CAGR of number of
consumers seemed unreasonably high or low, the most
reasonable calculated value between 5/7/10 years’ CAGR was
adopted. The adopted value of CAGR was applied across all
sub-categories within a given consumer category.
• Applied the CAGR so adopted to determine forecasted values of
number of consumers, taking 2010-11 as the base year.
e.2. Connected load:
• Multiplied number of consumers by the highest ratio of
connected load per consumer calculated for the last three years
to determine consumer sub-category wise connected load
forecasts corresponding to forecasted values of number of
consumers.
e.3. Energy Sales:
e.3.1. LMV 1 & LMV 10 Consumer categories:
Forecasted value of energy sales for each consumer sub-category was determined
by multiplying the number of consumers by the highest value of energy sales per
consumer for the last three years. Wherever the highest value of energy sales per
consumer was found to be unreasonably high, the second highest value of the
above ratio was adopted as the multiplier for determining energy sales
corresponding to the forecasted value of number of consumers.
e.3.2. LMV Consumer categories (metered)other than
LMV1 & LMV10 consumer categories:
Adopted the highest value of energy sales per kW connected load for a given
consumer sub-category for the last three years as the multiplier to obtain
forecasted value of energy sales corresponding to the forecasted value of
connected load.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-20
e.3.3. LMV: Unmetered consumers (except rural state tube
wells):
Forecasted value of energy sales for a given consumer sub-category was obtained
by multiplying the forecasted value of connected load by the standard value of
energy sales per kW connected load laid down in the norms.
e.3.4. Rural state tube wells:
Forecasted value of energy sales was obtained by multiplying the forecasted value
of number of consumers by the standard value of energy sales per consumer laid
down in the norms as below:
Sr.No Category of Un‐Metered Consumer
Units Consumption of Energy Per Month
1 Private Tube Well KWh/KW 91.66
2 Domestic Rural Consumers KWh/KW 72 3 Rural Commercial Consumers KWh/KW 72 4 Rural State Tube Well KWh/Consumer or
Pump 3562.35
5 ‐A Street Light ‐ Rural Area KWh/KW 300 5 ‐B Street Light ‐ Urban Area KWh/KW 360
f. Sales Forecasting: HV Consumers – Sub-category-wise
f.1. Connected Load:
Forecasted value of connected load for a given sub-category for a given year was
determined by applying the 3 years’ CAGR of connected load calculated for the
particular consumer sub-category, taking 2010-11 as the base year. Wherever the
3 years’ CAGR appeared unreasonably high or low, the figure from amongst
CAGR of connected load for a given consumer category calculated for 5/7/10
years that seemed most reasonable, was adopted as the CAGR to be used for
forecasting. This value of CAGR was applied to all sub-categories comprising a
given consumer category.
f.2. Number of consumers:
Forecasted number of consumers corresponding to the forecasted value of
connected load for a consumer sub-category in a given year was determined by
dividing connected load by the value of connected load per consumer calculated of
the preceding year.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-21
f.3. Energy sales:
• Year wise and sub-category wise energy sales forecasts were
obtained by multiplying the forecasted value of connected
load by the highest ratio of energy sales per kW connected
load of the last three years.
• Year wise and sub-category wise energy sales forecasts were
obtained by multiplying the forecasted value of sales MU by
the running hour factors.
• Year wise and sub-category wise energy sales forecasts were
obtained by multiplying the forecasted value of sales MU by
the DMS factors.
4. Consumer Sub-category wise Projections:
Projections for Nos of Consumer sub-category wise for the two years were
provided for each DisCom.
5. Connected Load Sub-category wise Projections:
Projections for Connected Load sub-category wise for the two years were provided
for each DisCom.
6. Sales Sub-category wise Projections:
Projections for Sales sub-category wise for the two years were provided for each
DisCom.
7. Projections for Input Energy:
Following assumptions, based on experience, were made with regard to losses:
1. % Distribution Losses:
Approximate distribution losses figures in % for two years were assumed as given
in the following table:

ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-22
2. Transmission Losses:
Intra-state and inter-state transmission losses, to be added to the power delivered
at the DisComs at their input points to arrive at the energy required at the power
plant bus bars, were taken as 5.66%.
3. Allocation of Additional Energy:
The difference of Energy Requirement and available at DisCom level was
allocated to all categories except HT, Agriculture and Railway on the basis of
existing share in sales.
8. Input Energy Requirement:
Input energy requirement was determined from Energy Billed using the following
relationship:
Input Energy = Energy Billed ÷(1-% Technical & Distribution Loss)
9. Sales Forecasts for 2011-12 & 2012-13:
The billed energy was required to be worked out on the basis of the availability of
energy for the current year and the next year, which are as follows:
• Year 2011-12: 17326 MU
• Year 2012-13: 19033 MU
The figures are tabulated under Table 3-4.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-23
Year 2011-12 & 2012-13
Sales Forecast:
The year 2011-12 is expected to see a substantial jump in the total availability of
energy at the source power plant bus bars at around 74277 MU when compared to
around 65600 MU in 2010-11 for Uttar Pradesh as a whole. The demand of most
consumer categories and DisComs is presently constrained by availability which
falls substantially short of demand. Hence, with increased availability of energy,
the projected sales are expected to rise not only on account of natural load growth
but also because of easing of supply constraints.
Total availability of energy for 2012-13 is around 83788 MU. The projected sales
will be impacted by normal load growth and increased hours of supply.

3.1. Norms and Refinement of Billing Determinants:
In compliance with Commission directive, FY 2012-13 ARR submissions
includes estimated revenue category and subcategory wise for current year FY12
and forecast year FY13. The key steps in calculation of revenue is deriving and
forecasting Billing Determinants. To achieve as much accuracy as possible, FY11
consolidated CS3/cs4 reports and detailed divisional CS3/cs4 reports prepared
in electronic form at the divisional level ,are reconciled and “normalized” as per
Commission’s approved consumption norms established in UPPCL order
No.2649-CUR/L, dated 20-07-2001. These norms, specifying specific
consumption levels for un-metered customers, are summarized on Table e-3-4.
The CS3 reports provide information on number of consumers, connected loads
and kWh sales data for retail consumer categories and subcategories with
detailed break-up of urban/rural, metered/un-metered and other pertinent
information.
3.2. Billing frequency analysis:
As in the past submissions to the Commission, billing agent data are used to
capture slab wise break-down of energy consumption, customer number and
connected loads as required for Domestic (LMV-1), Commercial (LMV-2),
Private Tube Wells (LMV-5) and Small & Medium Power (LMV-6). Subcategory
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 3-44
breakdowns of the HV-2 category (Large & Heavy Power) at different voltage
levels have been derived based on actual monthly bills for consumers served at
11 kV and above.
In the current tariff schedule for load factor rebates in LMV-6 (Small and
Medium Power) and HV-2 (Large and Heavy Power) consumers, billing agent’s
data are used to estimate distribution of sales in relation to various slabs of
specific consumption in kWh/kW as stipulated in the tariff structure. For HV-2
consumers, the load factor related data and detailed break-down of consumer
information by voltage level has been estimated based on invoice bills for
consumers at 11 kV and above.
Time-of-Day (ToD) tariffs were adopted for HV-2 consumers based on actual
metering data and should result in more accurate HV-2 consumers’ revenue
estimates.
The category wise actual energy sales, connected load and consumers for
AGRA DisCom for FY 2010-11 is placed in Table 3-1 and the detailed sub
category wise parameter estimated and projected for FY 2011-12 & FY 2012-13
are placed in Table 3-2 & Table 3-3 respectively based on the forecast are

4 ARR for Wheeling & Retail Supply Business: Distribution Tariff Regulations 2006 requires Distribution licensee to file
Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR)/Tariff Petition complete in all respect
along with requisite fees as prescribed by the Commission. The ARR petition
shall contain detail of estimated expenditure and expected revenue that it may
recover in the ensuing financial year at the existing rate of Tariff. Further ARR
/Tariff filing by the Distribution licensee shall separately indicate Aggregate
Revenue Requirement (ARR) for wheeling & Retail supply function embedded
in the distribution function. Till such time complete segregation of accounts
between Wheeling and Retail Supply Business takes place, ARR proposals for
Wheeling and Retail Supply Business shall be prepared based on an allocation
statement to the best judgment of the distribution licensee. Tariff Regulation
has broadly classified cost incurred by the licensee as controllable & un
controllable costs. Uncontrollable cost include fuel cost, increase in interest
rate, increase of cost due to inflation, Taxes & cess, variation of power purchase
unit costs etc.
4.1. Components of Annual Expenditure:
As per Distribution Tariff regulation annual expenses of distribution licensee
comprises the following components:
a) Power Purchase Cost
b) Transmission Charge
c) SLDC Charges
d) Operation & Maintenance Expense
e) Depreciation
f) Interest & Financing Costs and Retail Supply Business
g) Bad and Doubtful Debts
h) Return on Equity
i) Taxes on Income
j) Other expense
k) Contribution to Contingency Reserve
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-57
In this petition the Petitioner is filing expenses for FY 2012-13 for approval of
the Commission. In estimating the expenses the main objective of the Petitioner
is to reduce or at least contain the expenses to the extent possible thereby
reducing cost burden on the consumers with some exception which were totally
beyond the control of the petitioner. It is mainly due to the facts that most of the
expenses are subjected to uncontrollable factors like statuary implication
arising out of increase in wages, increase in certain expenses due to
increase/growth in consumer base e.g call centre expenses, further some
expenses are directly linked to rate of petrol/diesel which is at an all time high.
In the ensuing year the petitioner has tried to control most of the operating
expenses within the current year level with moderate hike to only accommodate
the rising inflation. The petitioner is making all out effort to improve quality of
supply and customer service level for this purpose. Petitioner has made plan for
power planning and investment plan. In spite of petitioner‘s effort to control
expenses the total Revenue Requirement has risen mainly due to
uncontrollable factors such as power purchase cost, annual increments dearness
allowances . The petitioner would like to highlight that all the revenue realized
is spent for power purchase payment; therefore to carry out the business,
petitioner has to be dependent on subsidy from GoUP and funding from
financial institutions. Keeping in view the deteriorating financial condition, the
Petitioner has initiated an exercise of financial restructuring with a view to
regain operational viability and financial turnaround.
The detailed analysis & estimate of above elements of ARR for FY 2012-13 have
been presented in the subsequent sections with explanation. The cost elements
of ARR have been estimated based on the provisional un-audited account of
FY2010-11 & expenses of FY 2011-12 available till date. The Cost expense has
been provided in this section comprises both on a consolidated basis for all
DisComs as well as for AGRA DisCom. The consolidated ARR forecast is
necessary because the uniform statewide retail tariff structure currently in place
requires an aggregate approach.
The Tariff regulation suggest for formulation of an escalation index linked with
appropriate indices/rate like consumer price Index (CPI) and whole sale price
index (WPI) as notified by central government for different years. As per the
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-58
Tariff Regulation for determination of Operation &Maintenance
expenses(which comprises employee cost ,A&G expenses and R&M expenses)
for year under consideration ,the O&M expenses of the base year shall be
escalated at inflation rates notified by the central Government for different
years. The inflation rate for above purpose shall be the weighted average of
Wholesale Price Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40.
Therefore it is imperative to first calculate an Escalation index based on guide
lines provided in the regulation .Accordingly petitioner has calculated an
escalation index in the following section.
4.2. Escalation Index/Inflation Rate:
Regulation provides that expenses of the base year shall be escalated at
inflation/Escalation rate notified by central government for different years. The
inflation rate for this purpose shall be weighted average of wholesale Price
Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40. Therefore for the
purpose of this ARR petitioner has used this methodology in arriving at
Escalation Index/ Inflation Rate of 9.85 %. This escalation/Inflation index has
been used in estimation of various components of ARR. Calculation of
Escalation/ Inflation Index is given in following table:
Inflation Index=0.6*Inflation based on WPI + 0.4*Inflation based on CPI

4.3. Power Purchase Costs:
The Distribution Tariff Regulation provides that The Distribution Licensee shall
have the flexibility of procuring power from any source in the country. However,
it shall procure power on least cost basis and as per merit order principle. A
two-part tariff structure shall be adopted for all long term contracts to facilitate
merit order dispatch. The cost of energy available from State Generating
Stations shall be assessed as per tariffs approved by the Commission and that of
energy from Central Sector Station shall be taken as per tariffs approved by
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission. The cost of energy from other
sources shall be assessed as per the power purchase/banking/trading
agreements and tariffs approved by the Commission. The cost of power
purchase from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) within the State shall be as
per the tariffs determined in accordance with UPERC (Terms and Conditions of
Generation Tariff) Regulations. Similarly the cost of power purchase from IPPs
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-60
outside the State shall be as per the tariffs and power purchase agreement
approved by the Commission. Accordingly petitioner has estimated Power
Purchase cost for FY2012-13 based on above guiding factors provided in the
regulation. Some key assumptions considered in forecasting power purchase
units & Costs are given below:
• Actual power purchase cost and units of FY2010-11
• Trend observed in the previous and current year.
• Impact of loss reduction initiatives.
• Estimated growth in sales.
• Share of expected capacity available from various Generators to the UPPCL/DisCom.
1. For ensuing year the petitioner has projected aggregate DisCom T & D
losses of 27.65 %, which means significant reduction in commercial as well
as technical losses. The reduction in these losses will be achieved by
bringing the unauthorized use of electricity into the billing netand
accurately measuring the consumption of electricity as well as reduction in
technical losses by replacing /installing adequate capacity equipments .
2. Distribution licensees are purchasing power from UPPCL at the rate of
bulk supply tariff decided by the Commission where as UPPCL procures
power from various generating station i.e. central as well as state
generating stations on behalf of distribution companies. UPPCL is
currently taking steps to ensure that its purchases are optimized with
respect to merit order dispatch and avoid unscheduled interchange (UI)
based on frequency deviations from 50 Hz. Purchases are currently being
optimized on a “short-term” day-to-day and hour-to-hour basis. The
current power procurement plan is based on an exercise of merit order
dispatch and probabilistic analysis conducted on a monthly basis.
4.3.1. Power purchases summary:
Summary of energy balances and corresponding purchased power details are
shown in Table 4-2 for FY2010 to FY2013 and in Table 4-3 for FY2012-13.
A detailed Power Procurement Plan and “merit order” dispatch are provided in

As can be seen from table above, power purchase cost is projected to be
Rs.29982 Cr in FY202-13, which is in line with the current trended cost. A
significant part of this increase over the past years may be attributed to the load
growth and higher-than-usual price escalation in oil and coal price.
4.3.2. Power Procurement cost from UPPCL by DisCom:
The distribution tariff Regulation state that the total power purchase cost for
distribution licensee’s requirement shall be estimated on the basis of merit
order principle. Presently UPPCL is carrying out the function of power
procurement for bulk supply to DisComs. UPPCL purchases power from various
generators i.e. central, state generating station, IPPs etc and supply to various
DisComs of the state at the bulk supply rate notified by the Commission as
GOUP has yet not allocated individual power share to State DisComs. As a
result cost of power purchase for the distribution companies from UPPCL would
be uniform (bulk supply tariff -BST). Hence BST has been determined under the
principle that all DisComs would have paid the same average price in FY2012-
13. Power purchase costs as described above, are summarized below:
Table 4-4: Power Purchase Costs- AGRA DisCom:

4.4. Transmission & SLDC charges:
4.4.1. Interstate Transmission Charges:
The interstate transmission charges payable by the Consolidated DisCom to
PGCIL has been projected to Rs 1127 cr for FY 2012-13. The PGCIL charges has
been levied on energy procured from NTPC, NPCIL, NHPC, SJVNL, Tehri,
TALA and others. These charges have been incorporated in Power Procurement
Cost. The petitioner submits that while considering power procurement to meet
the State requirement, losses external to its system, i.e. in the Northern Region
PGCIL system need to be accounted for. The availability of power for the
petitioner (i.e. at UPPCL system boundary) from these sources gets reduced to
the extent of these losses and the petitioner has accordingly incorporated them
while drawing up the energy balance and merit order dispatch for meeting the
State requirement.
4.4.2. Intra State Transmission Charges:
The intra state transmission charges for current year payable by petitioners are
on the basis of actual energy received & uniform charges are to be paid by all the
four Distribution Licensees proportionate to the energy delivered to them.
Accordingly, licensee has estimated Cost of intra state Transmission charges for
ensuing year as well as for the current year in the tables given below. The
Transmission licensee is also performing the function of SLDC, as such SLDC
cost is embedded in the transmission charges.

Table 4-7: Transmission Charges- Consolidated DisCom:
4.5. Operation & Maintenance Expenses:
Operation & maintenance expenses comprise of Employee costs, Administrative
& General Expenses and Repair & Maintenance expenses. The regulation 4.3 of
the Distribution Tariff Regulation issued by the Commission stipulates:
1- The O&M expenses comprise of employee cost, repairs &
maintenance(R&M) cost and administrative & general (A&G) cost. The
O&M expenses for the base year shall be calculated on the basis of
historical/audited costs and past trend during the preceding five years.
However, any abnormal variation during the preceding five years shall be
excluded. For determination of the O&M expenses of the year under
consideration, the O & M expenses of the base year shall be escalated at
inflation rates notified by the Central Government for different years. The
inflation rate for above purpose shall be the weighted average of Wholesale
Price Index and Consumer Price Index in the ratio of 60:40.Base year, for
these regulations means, the first year of tariff determination under these
regulations
2- Where such data for the preceding five years is not available the
Commission may fix O&M expenses for the base year as certain percentage
of the capital cost.
3- Incremental O&M expenses for the ensuing financial year shall be 2.5% of
capital addition during the current year. O&M charges for the ensuing
financial year shall be sum of incremental O&M expenses so worked out
and O&M charges of current year escalated on the basis of predetermined
indices as indicated in regulation 4.3 (1)..”
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-66
In last tariff order Commission was of the opinion that a suitable norm
for allowance of O&M expenses could be adopted only after undertaking
a thorough study of the O&M expenditure based on the past
performances, and the cost drivers of the same, through a separate
process. Till any such norm for O&M expenditure is determined, the
Commission emphasised considering the individual elements of O&M
expenditure based on past trends escalated by an inflation Index.
Further in addition to the O&M cost based on inflationary indices based
escalation, regulation provides an additional O&M expenses @ 2.5% of
the additions to GFA during the previous year. As such this portion of
expenses has been separately calculated.
As stated above, in the absence of O&M norms petitioner has estimated
individual components of O&M expenses based on methodology
described in following section.
4.5.1. O&M Expenses on Addition to Assets during the Year:
In addition to the employee cost, A&G cost and R&M expenses described in the
succeeding section, Regulations provide for incremental O&M expenses on
addition to assets during the year. Regulation stipulates that “Incremental O&M
expenses for the ensuing financial year shall be 2.5% of capital addition during
the current year. O&M charges for the ensuing financial year shall be sum of
incremental O&M expenses so worked out and O&M charges of current year
escalated on the basis of predetermined indices as indicated in regulation 4.3 (1).”
Accordingly based on above the incremental O&M expenses has been worked
out in following table .The same are allocated across the individual elements of
the O&M expenses on the basis of contribution of each element in the gross
O&M expenses excluding the incremental O &M charges.

Table 4-9: Allocation of incremental O&M expenses for FY 13-AGRA DisCom:
4.6. Employee costs:
The projection of employee costs involves a detailed examination of the various
components of salary such as basic pay, annual increment due and dearness
allowance for the various grades of employees. It would also take care of
elements of retirements as well as the manpower additions planned. The
Petitioner has considered the current year as base values while projecting the
employees cost for the financial year 2011-12 and 2012-13. Detail of each
elements of employees cost has been provided in this section. The employee
cost for AGRA DisCom and Consolidated DisCom are computed in following
table:

Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-68
Table 4-10: Details of Employee Cost- AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-11: Details of Employee Cost- Consolidated DisCom:
As mentioned above evolution of sub account of employee cost has been
forecasted from base figure of FY2010-11 balance sheet and actual figure of
FY2011-12 available till date. While projecting the expenses for ensuing year,
petitioner has endeavored to control the employee expenses but cost has
increased due to impact of implementation of time scale and arrear of pay
commission which is totally beyond the control of the petitioner. Various sub
account are estimated as follows:
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-69
• Basic salary: The petitioner would like to submit that the projected growth
in basic salaries in FY2011-12 is due to mainly time bound increment, annual
increase in pay. The combined impact of annual increment and time bound
increment has been estimated 5% over the basic salary of FY2010-11.
Therefore petitioner has estimated basic salaries for FY2011-12 to increase
by 5% from FY2010-11 value and for FY2012-13 has been estimated to
increase by inflation as provided in the regulation.
• Dearness Allowance (DA): In the Pay Scales effective from January
2006 the instalment of Dearness Allowance are due on each 1st January & 1st
July of each calendar year. The dearness allowance is incremented every
sixth month based on the bench mark set by the central government. For
FY2010-11 petitioner has estimated dearness allowance to be 58 %( 51% for
3 month,58% for 6month & 65% for next three month). For FY 2012-13it has
been linked to inflation.
• Other allowance: Other allowance for FY2011-12 has been forecasted in
the ratio as actually incurred in FY2010-11 of basic salary & for FY2012-13 it
has been escalated by inflation index.
• Likewise Medical Reimbursement, LTA, Earn leave encashment, staff
welfare expenses and other terminal benefit have been forecast to increase
by inflation index per year from FY2010-11.
• Pension and Gratuity: Pension and Gratuity have been calculated at
16.7% and 2.38% (i.e., 19.08%) of Basic Salary and Dearness Allowance.
• Capitalisation of Expenses: Employee Expenses Capitalized has been
taken 15% of total employee cost, which is in line with the policy adopted by
the Commission in previous orders.
• As mentioned in clause: 4.5.1 an additional incremental expense of 2.5% of
GFA addition during the previous year has also been added.
4.7. Administrative and General (A&G) Expenses:
• These expenses are incurred by the petitioner for meeting day-to-day
expenses related to the administration of its offices, insurance,
communication, professional charges, audit fees, advertisement expenses,
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-70
freight etc. All these expenses are directly affected by inflation .Therefore
A&G expenses have been projected considering the impact of inflation and
need for addition of more substation and offices. Forecast A&G expenses for
AGRA DisCom and for Consolidated DisCom are summarized below in
Tables 4-12 and 4-13 respectively, beginning with the figures from the un-
audited statements of FY2010-11.
• As a reflection of the continuing commitment of the Petitioner to keep costs
under control, almost all A&G Expenses have been escalated by inflation
index per year across the board simply to offset the effect of inflation.
• In addition to above, regulatory expenses as application fees plus 0.05% of
revenue as license fees has been added in A&G expenses in FY2012-13 which
is Rs 2.98 Cr for AGRA DisCom and & 11.53 Cr for Consolidated DisCom.
• Billing & collection expenses also include expenses related to information
technology. Billing & collection expenses relate to expenses incurred due to
out sourcing of billing work, use of hand held machines and GIS mapping
of consumers. Further petitioner is planning to use various information
technology (IT) initiatives such as implementation of software solution,
networking (Both local area network & wide area network), retail billing
solution, Energy billing System, web based payment solution, Energy
accounting system etc to drive operational efficiency improvement.
Therefore an additional amount of Rs 3.25 cr has been added under this
head in FY2012-13 for AGRA DisCom.
• Capitalized A&G expenses are assumed to be 15 % of A&G cost This is
consistent with the approach adopted by the Commission in its previous
Orders.
• The petitioner has taken several steps for enhancing customer care,
implementation of standard of performance & level of system augmentation
and computerization for better process management .It has also taken steps
to increase communication network with the field units/ persons so as to
reduce the down time for restoration of supply and better data management.
• The petitioner is also planning to provide its consumer, the facility for
payment of their electricity bills on line through credit cards. This will
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-71
facilitate the consumer to pay their bills at their convenience .This payment
option would be in addition to existing payment facility.
• As mentioned in clause:4.5.1 an additional incremental expenses of 2.5% of
GFA addition during the previous year has also been added

Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-72
4.8. Gross Fixed Assets (GFA) Balances and Capital
Formation Assumptions:
The assumptions used for projecting GFA and CWIP are as follows:
• The opening GFA and CWIP for AGRA DisCom for FY 2011-12 have been
taken as per the closing figures provisional annual accounts of FY 2010-11.
• 40% the opening CWIP and 40% of investment made during the year,
expenses capitalized & interest capitalized (40% of total investment) has
been assumed to get capitalized during the year.
• Investment through “deposit work “has not been taken for capital formation
as per policy adopted by commission in previous tariff Order. Thus
investments in capital formation shown in Table 4-17 don’t include work
funded through deposit work.
Table 4-14 shows Licensee’s investment plan for FY2012-13 along with the
proposed funding of each component of the investment plan. The detail of
activities carried out in each scheme has already been explained in section 2.4
• Under the RGGVY programme petitioner has proposed investment funded
through equity from GoUP. In the last Tariff Order Commission has
assumed only 10% as equity and rest amount treated as grant as envisaged
in central government scheme for RGGVY where as GoUP provided entire
amount as equity. It is further submitted that under this scheme GoUP
provide entire fund required for RGGVY programme in the form of equity as
such it is submitted before the Commission that entire fund under RGGVY
be treated as equity fund for investment.

4.9. Repair and Maintenance (R&M) Expenses
The Petitioner has considered the actuals for the financial year 2010-11 as base
values while projecting the Repair & Maintenance Expenses for the financial
year 2011-12 and 2012-13. As per un-audited balance sheet the actual
expenditure incurred by the licensee under R&M expenditure for FY2010-11 is
Rs 210.56 Cr. Repair & Maintenance expenses as per annual accounts for the
financial year 2010-11 has been increased by using the escalation index for
estimating the expenses for FY2011-12 & FY2012-13. In estimating expenses for
ensuing years from FY2010-11 if there is abnormal increase in expenses from
past trends then base year value has also been corrected to get realistic
projected figures.
The Forecast R&M expenses for AGRA DisCom and for the consolidated
DisComs are summarized below in Tables 4-19 and 4-20 respectively, beginning
with the provisional figures of FY2010-11.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-75
• In this ARR petitioner has assumed same methodology as approved in
previous Tariff Orders rather than linking R&M expenses with GFA.
Therefore R&M expenses have been projected from expenses of FY2010-11
as base value and have been increased with Escalation index to offset impact
of inflation. As mentioned in clause: 4.5.1 an additional incremental expense
of 2.5% of GFA addition during the previous year has also been added.
• The summary of Repair & Maintenance expenses for the financial year
2011-12 and 2012-13 may be shown in the table below:
Table 4-19: R&M Expenses - AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-20: R&M Expense -: Consolidated DisCom:
4.10. Depreciation expenses:
Commission in its Distribution Tariff regulation has specified methodology for
computing depreciation. The regulation also specifies the rates to be used for
the purpose of computation of the depreciation charged during the year. In the
last Tariff Order the Commission has approved depreciation on the basis of
weighted average depreciation rates as against specific depreciation rates for
each class of asset. Further Transmission Tariff Regulations provide for
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-76
charging depreciation on opening GFA and a pro-rata basis on assets capitalized
during the year. Petitioner has used same methodology for computing
depreciation in this ARR.
• In this petition Petitioner has taken weighted average depreciation rate of
7.11%, which has been derived as average depreciation rate of last three
years.
• The depreciation has been charged for the entire year on the opening GFA
and pro-rata basis for the assets capitalized during the year.
• Opening GFA for FY2011-12 has been taken from provisional balance sheet
of FY2010-11.Likewise Opening GFA for FY2012-13 and addition to fixed
assets has already been dealt in previous section. Hence based on the same
and using above specified average depreciation rate of 7.11% ,the petitioner
has calculated depreciation for FY2012-13 in following table:
Table 4-21: Depreciation Expense – AGRA DisCom & Consolidated DisCom:
4.11. Provision for Bad and Doubtful debts:
UPERC (Terms and Conditions for Determination of Distribution Tariff)
Regulations-2006 issued on 6th October 2006 under section 4.4 stipulates that
bad and doubtful debts shall be allowed as a legitimate business expense with
the ceiling limit of 2% of the revenue receivables. Accordingly the Bad and
Doubtful debts have been estimated as 1.44% of the revenue receivable. In the
previous Tariff Orders Commission disallowed this component due to absence
of any clear-cut policy. It is further submitted that provision for bad & doubtful
debts are generally accepted accounting principle even in sector like Banking
the provisioning of un-collectable dues are considered as a normal commercial
practice.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-77
Despite the Commission’s views on this component of ARR, It is humbly
submitted to the Hon’ble Commission that annual provisioning towards bad
and doubtful debts is an accepted method of accounting and also recognized by
other State Electricity Regulatory Commissions. The amount, if any, written off
towards bad debts is only adjusted against the accumulated provisions in the
books, irrespective of the actual amount of bad debts during any particular year.
Therefore petitioner maintains that this is a legitimate ARR component. As such
petitioner has made provisions for bad debts for FY2012-13 in line with the
provision provided in the Regulation. The forecast Provision for Bad and
Doubtful debts for the AGRA DisCom and Consolidated DisComs are
summarized below in Tables 4-22 and 4-23 respectively.
Table 4-22: Provision for Bad and Doubtful debts - AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-23: Provision for Bad and Doubtful debts - Consolidated DisCom:
4.12. Interest and Finance Costs:
The interest and finance cost for FY 2012-13 are based on current schedule of
long-term debt repayment and new debt requirements for capital investment
plan & working capital requirement.
The forecast Provision for Interest and Finance Costs of AGRA DisCom are
summarized as under beginning with the FY2010-11 provisional figures.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-78
• Interest & finance cost include interest on working capital requirement.
Here petitioner would like to submit that working capital requirement of the
licensee is more than what commission allowed in its last tariff order based
on normative value. It is mainly due to the fact that petitioner is facing
severe cash crunch as there is vast difference between revenue assessment of
petitioner & commission’s projection. Therefore petitioner find it difficult to
meet out even its power purchase obligation from its revenue assessment.
Therefore, it is humbly submitted before the Commission to allow working
capital requirement as requested.
Table 4-24: Projected Interest & Finance Cost - AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-25: Projected Interest & Finance Cost- Consolidated DisCom:
4.13. Interest on Consumer security deposit:
Section 47(4) of electricity Act 2003 states that “the distribution licensee shall
pay interest equivalent to the bank rate or more, as may be specified by the
concerned State Commission, on the security referred to in sub- section (1) and
refund such security on the request of the person who gave such security”.
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-79
The Hon’ble commission in last Tariff order allowed interest to consumer on
security deposit on opening balance of security deposit at the beginning of the
year at prevailing bank rate of 6% as notified by RBI. In this petition interest on
security deposit has been computed in the same manner. Computation of the
same is given below:
Table 4-26: Consumer security Deposit- AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-27: Consumer security Deposit -Consolidated DisCom:
4.14. Other Income:
Other income includes non tariff income such as interest on loans and advances
to employee, income from fixed rate investment deposits, interest on loans and
advances to licensees and other miscellaneous income from retail sources and
revenue support from the GoUP, excluding DPS. Summary of other income is
given below beginning with figure from balance sheet of FY2010-11. The
amount for FY2012-13 has been forecast to grow at the rate of inflation index
from the base data of FY2010-11. The GoUP is likely to provide subsidy to
partially cover the revenue shortfall arising from below CoS tariffs for the Rural
Domestic and PTW categories. A portion of these amounts is allocated to AGRA
DisCom, based on number of PTW and Rural Domestic consumers. In FY2011-
12 total amount of subsidy for Consolidated DisComs is Rs 3640 Crs where as in
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-80
table below under FY2011-12 debt servicing from Govt. of UP for interest
repayment has also been included in subsidy amount.
Table 4-28: Other Income-AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-29: Other Income-Consolidated DisCom:
4.15. Reasonable return/ Return on Equity:
Under provisions of the Regulations licensees are permitted a return on equity
@ 16% which is worked out as under:-
• For equity base calculation debt equity ratio shall be 70:30.
• Where equity employed is more than 30%, the amount of equity for the purpose of tariff shall be limited to 30%.
• Equity amount more than 30% shall be considered as loan.
• Provided that in case the actual equity employed is less than 30%, actual debt and equity shall be considered for determination of tariff.
In the last ARR submission petitioner requested a zero return with the pretext
that it will further increase the gap and put extra burdens on the consumers.
Same conditions are still prevailing. Thus petitioner preferred not to ask for the
same. To bridge revenue shortfall petitioner has to ask for more GoUP subsidy
and have to resort to short term loan from market in addition to different
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-81
measure initiated for productivity improvement. In such a condition when
licensee is already burdened with high interest cost due to short term loan to
bridge revenue gap, it is unjustified to further widen gap by asking return.
However for academic purpose the return on equity for both on consolidated
DisCom & AGRA DisCom have been calculated as per regulation set out by the
Commission in following table:
Table 4-30: Return on Equity-AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-31: Return on Equity-Consolidated DisCom:
4.16. Contribution to contingency reserve:
The contingency reserve creation permitted in the Regulation is up to 0.5% of
opening gross fixed assets to be included in the ARR requirement of the
petitioner. Accordingly petitioner has estimated contingency reserve for
FY2012-13 in following table:
ARR & TARIFF FILING FY 2013
Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. AGRA DisCom 4-82
Table 4-32: Contingency Reserve -AGRA DisCom:
Table 4-33: Contingency Reserve - Consolidated DisCom:
Regulation requires that contingency reserve shall be invested in Govt.
securities. As there is a big revenue gap between ARR and revenue forecast ,as
such this component will only enhance the Gap and create extra burden on the
consumers so for present ARR Licensee is not claiming this component.
4.17. Consolidated Retail & Wheeling Business ARR Summary:
Clause 2.1(2) & (3) of the Term & conditions for determination of Distribution
Regulations provide that ARR/Tariff filing by the Distribution Licensee shall
separately indicate Aggregate Revenue Requirement (ARR) for Wheeling
function and Retail Supply function embedded in the distribution function. Till
such time complete segregation of accounts between Wheeling and Retail
Supply Business takes place, ARR proposals for Wheeling and Retail Supply
Business shall be prepared based on an allocation statement to the best
judgment of the distribution licensee.
Here it is submitted that still complete segregation of account between
Wheeling and retail supply has not taken place, therefore petitioner has adopted
the basis of allocation of the expenses in line with the methodology used by
commission in its last Tariff Order.
Allocations of Consolidated ARR into wheeling & retail supply for FY2012-13
have been estimated into following table:

6.1. Wheeling charges from Open Access Consumers:
Tariff for wheeling of electricity has been computed on the basis of costs
allocated to the wheeling business as per the allocation statement and the
projected electricity units to be wheeled through network in the ensuing tariff
period. In addition to this, surcharge, as decided by UPERC will be levied in
case to case basis or otherwise. This is a simple postage stamp method.
Wheeling charges are summarized as under for Consolidated DisCom for FY
2012-13 in Table 6-1. These wheeling charges will be the same for all
DisComs.

6.2. Retail Tariff Design:
Licensee is not revising the present tariff and there is no change made in
present Rates and Charges. However in some categories only minor changes in
general terms and conditions of time of day billing structure has been proposed
and a new category HV-5 for “Arc/induction furnace, rolling /rerolling mills
and mini steel plants” has been created by separating these consumers from
HV-2. A petition regarding this modification is already submitted before the
